Literature see Alain Ramié 298 Artist Bio Pablo Picasso Spanish • 1881 - 1973 Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso is known for his pioneering involvement in the development of Modernism and co-founding of the Cubist movement. He tirelessly investigated forms of expression with his pictorial vocabulary ranging from vivid naturalism to distorted abstraction, and his prolific output included painting, prints, drawings, ceramics and theatre sets. Endlessly curious, Picasso continually sought innovative creative avenues, experimenting with age-old printmaking processes (etching, lithography, linocut), each of which offered a distinct expressive opportunity of line, tone and mark-making. These graphic techniques, combined with Picasso's idiosyncratic motifs — mythological creatures, Spanish bullfighting scenes and portraits of lovers — resulted in an unparalleled body of printed works that could range from the spontaneously lyrical to the allegorically complex.
